Hyundai Sonata will not start, likely due to starter failure on Hyundai Sonata

Problem overview

Some Hyundai Sonata owners report experiencing starting issues due to a faulty starter motor, which is essential for turning over the engine. Common signs of a bad starter include a clicking noise, no noise at all, or grinding sounds, and the starter may fail without any prior warning. In some instances, owners have attempted a temporary fix by hitting the starter motor while turning the key, though this solution is not reliable for all situations. If the starter is confirmed as the problem, replacing it is recommended as the most effective long-term solution to restore the vehicle's functionality.
